Jun-04-04		rodrigochaves: this game is typical to alekhine, he attack in the both sides of the board

Nov-28-04		Knezh: Actually, typically Alekhine's style is usually defined as attacking the queenside first to create weaknesses and distract opponent's pieces and then rapidly swing the attack on to the kingside and go for the kill ...which is what we witnessed in this game.

Jun-04-07		Hyperionnn: 28-..c6!! is the key move here. Alekhine moves Queen to h4 and this is enough to win the game.

Oct-11-08		notyetagm: Black to play: 36 ... ? click for larger view Here Alekhine (Black) uncorks one of my favorite tactical motifs, the <KING DELFECTION>, with 36 ... a1-h1+!. 36 ... a1-h1+! click for larger view The tactical point is that the White h2-king is <OVERWORKED>, having to keep the Black h4-queen out of the h3-square and the Black a1-rook out of the h1-square. Hence the White h2-king is <OVERWORKED> having to <DEFEND> the two squares h3 and h1.

Jan-29-11		laskereshevsky: Alekhine never played stereotypes moves.... The use of the D7 square in the Opening/early middlegame is worth of study, and always delighted me... as the delay of the C8's development till the very last...

Jan-29-11		laskereshevsky: Of course not to mention the use of the !!....... Mischa "lost" a lot of tempi and put the Queen in a looks like very useless position to create weakness in the opponent's field..... IMHO this Ale's pearl its not inferior to others much more celebrated combinative games of his own
